Shen Rouning came back from a walk, and Shen Duanrong had already left.

"He heard that his third uncle was promoted, and now he has plenty of money, so he went out to buy gifts." Chen Houyun explained.

Shen Rouning didn't think much about it.

On the same day, Shen Duanrong took a few boxes of local specialties that he had prepared and went to the Shen Mansion. Shen Duanbai greeted him and said, "The sixth brother is here, and my mother is waiting for you in the back." ”

Shen Duanrong nodded and asked, "Hasn't the third uncle been sent down yet?" ”

"No, Daddy, he's out for a feast." Shen Duanrong said with a smile: "It is said that my father's colleagues in the original yamen held a banquet to say goodbye, I don't know very well. ”

Shen Duanrong nodded, his face a little dark.

Shen Duanbai lured him in and said, "Didn't the sixth brother say that he wanted to enter the academy?" How did you go to the merchants? I've heard people say that as early as a month or two ago, the price of meat in the capital dropped...... "When the price of meat drops, those who sleep in the open on the road don't make much money, isn't it just a trip for nothing, like a joke."

Shen Duanrong didn't want to talk about this, and said perfunctorily: "Oh. I went to Shuzhong, brought back some fruits, and sent some to my third uncle and aunt to taste. I'll go to the college to report in two days, and I hope that the seventh brother will introduce me more when the time comes. After many years, I don't know if there have been any changes in the college. ”

Shen Duanbai has been studying at Mid-Levels Academy for two years. He was in the basic class, and he studied hard and studied hard, although he was not the best in the same class in the right articles, but he was well received by the gentlemen because of his hard work. Shen Duanbai has always been very complacent about himself.

When he heard Shen Duanrong say this, he said, "Look at what the sixth brother said." With the relationship between the sixth brother and the mountain chief, I will have to rely on the sixth brother to take care of it more in the future. He looked down on Shen Duanrong a little, and he didn't hesitate to follow the merchant for some silver. But Shen Duanrong is Chen Gong's favorite grandson, so he naturally won't expose this "disdain" lightly and offend people.

"As soon as I came back, I heard that the third uncle had been promoted. It's really surprised and delighted......" Shen Duanrong probed Shen Duanbai's tone and asked, "I heard that the third uncle has won the favor of the emperor...... Isn't the emperor not very good at going to court? ”

"When the sixth brother says this, be careful that people listen to him, and the sixth brother is guilty of slandering the Son of Heaven." Shen Duanbai said with a smile.

Shen Duanrong laughed at himself: "I'm a half-grown son, I have no official or position, who will trouble me?" ”

"That's not the case." Shen Duansong said: "You don't have an official position, but what if someone takes the opportunity to attack your relatives who have an official position?" In a word. It's better to be careful when you speak. He didn't say much. He said in a low voice: "I heard that the princess mentioned it to the emperor." The emperor loved the princess, so he asked in the court. Father, he didn't panic and dealt with it properly, and the emperor was satisfied. Coupled with the princess's face, it is strange that her father is not promoted. ”

It turned out to be pushed on the princess.

Shen Duanrong mocked in his heart: If the emperor really loves his sister, how can he seem to have forgotten to have a sister for so many years!

…… It's good to have such a reason as a cover-up.

The green tendons on Shen Duanrong's forehead jumped a few times. The clenched fist was released for a while, and his complexion returned to normal. said: "It turned out to be because of the princess." The emperor only has two younger sisters, so he naturally loves him a lot. ”

"Well, I came back this time and brought a lot of specialties along the way, and I will send one to the princess's mansion when I go back."

Shen Duanbai's eyes flashed with some contempt. said with a smile: "Sixth brother has a heart." ”

Shen Duanrong saw Mrs. Shen San, and was already able to restrain her feelings and answer with Mrs. Shen San as usual. It's all about the hardships of the journey and some things I have seen. And said, "Oh, I saw the fifth brother." He is now very powerful in the army. There were a hundred and ten people under his hand, and they all respected him very much. ”

In the past, he didn't like Shen Duansong.

When I saw it recently, I still didn't like it-

On the one hand, I can't forget the irritable and eccentric Shen Duansong at the beginning; On the other hand, in his eyes, after experiencing the baptism of iron and blood in the army, Shen Duansong had a lot of fierce bloody murderous aura on his body, and he stood there high and ground, which always made his eyelids jump and feel dangerous. Maybe it's no longer "impatient", but it's even more "violent"!

Shen Duanrong knew that Shen Duansong was very good in the army, and the more fierce he was, the more he could suppress his subordinates...... But Shen Duanrong felt that he couldn't get along with such a Shen Duansong, so he was just polite and stayed away.

But at this moment, he suddenly realized that in fact, Shen Duansong's character was quite good-tempered. Better than most people in the three-room family!

He has been here for so long, they all know that he has gone to the grassland, and obviously will pass by Chen Houji's army, but they have not asked Shen Duansong how he is! They asked him in detail what he had seen along the way, what goods he had bought and sold...... But he didn't ask his relatives!

Shen Duanbai didn't take the initiative to ask, and neither did Mrs. Shen San, who was a mother!

But Shen Duansong asked about the recent situation of his family.

Mrs. Shen San was slightly stunned, then reacted and said hurriedly: "Duanrong really saw Duansong?" Are the rules strict in the army? He shouldn't have suffered much, right? ”

Shen Duanrong answered one by one.

After a few words, Mrs. Shen San said again: "...... The first two **** sisters also asked about him, and they were very worried. What we mean is that it's too dangerous to fight outside, and if he aspires to join the army, he might as well come back and join the Royal Forest. If he hadn't said goodbye and joined the Imperial Forest Army early, after so many years, he would definitely be much stronger than he is working hard now. ”

"Duan Song, don't say anything to your family, just forget it, and his temper is going to die...... After so many years, not even a letter will come. ”

Shen Duanrong said with a smile: "Actually, the fifth brother is also very concerned about his family. asked me a lot, how the third uncle and the third aunt were doing, the current situation of the two mothers, and the younger brothers and sisters...... In fact, he is still afraid that you will blame, so he is embarrassed to write back. ”

The main thing is that Master Shen San and the others have never written a letter to Shen Duansong.

Moreover, Shen Duansong worked hard in the army and finally established himself and got a position, why didn't he feel happy and happy for him in the eyes of his family? Is it because the head of a hundred people is not a rank, and the position is too low?

You know, it's definitely not so easy to be a hundred-man leader!

Shen Duanrong stayed in the Shen Mansion for a while, and he didn't wait for Shen San to come back, so he politely declined Shen San's stay and went out. He didn't go back directly, but slowly approached the princess's mansion and stood at a distance for a long time.

The vermilion gate is hung with red lanterns.

Quiet and imposing. It looks so high.

Shen Rouche has always lived here.

If Shen Duansong knew about the pickles here, how would he react? He said: He will follow the general back to Beijing in triumph...... The night breeze was a little cold, and Shen Duanrong turned around and left. (To be continued.) )
